TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure is generally related to dental procedures. Morespecifically, this disclosure is related to a wrapped, sterilizedpackage containing a variety of dental disposable supplies that may beused during a dental procedure.

BACKGROUND

Currently, when a dentist or other oral care professional prepares toperform a dental procedure, dental disposable supplies that are used tocarry out the dental procedure may be individually retrieved, whichincreases the likelihood of cross contamination. In some procedures,eleven, or even more, dental disposable supplies may be necessary tocomplete a procedure. Finding, collecting, and placing all of thenecessary dental disposable supplies may be a time-consuming processbecause the disposable supplies may not all be located in the same areain a dental office. Occasionally, one of the disposable supplies neededfor the procedure may be forgotten. This may make an alreadytime-consuming process even longer. Moreover, if the dentist or otheroral care professional is already carrying out the procedure, retrievinga missing dental disposable item may increase the stress level of boththe dentist and the patient. The patient may also become less confidentabout the dental office or the procedure as the assistant searches forthe needed component.

Most importantly, cross-contamination is a serious issue that must beprevented for each procedure. As patients have become more knowledgeableabout dental procedures, patients have become more aware ofcross-contamination issues. For example, if an assistant has to retrievea missing disposable item, the chain of infection control may be broken.The assistant may unknowingly and/or unintentionally contaminate theretrieved missing dental disposable item. This contaminated item maythen be placed within a dental operating field, such as the inside of apatient's mouth. This may lead to viral or bacterial infection, and/ordisease that could have been avoided if all of the necessary dentaldisposable supplies had been collected in one place and sterilized as aninfection control measure before the procedure began. In dentistry, alldental instruments that are placed in a patient's mouth are sterilized,reused, and recycled. An instrument used in the practice of dentistryincludes a variety of hand or machine-driven cutting instruments forsoft and calcified tissues, forceps, elevators, clamps, reamers, wirepliers, pluggers, carvers, explorers, and other instruments unique tothe dental specialties, such as oral surgery, endodontics, orthodontics,periodontics, prosthodontics, and restorative dentistry. Although dentaldisposable supplies are designed to be used once, discarded, and notreused or recycled as an infection control measure, they are placed in apatient's mouth unsterilized. The unsterilized dental supplies arestored in areas that are exposed to dental procedure aerosolcontamination from air droplets of contaminated water that may be mixedwith, for example, blood, saliva, and diseases created or exposed duringdental procedures and/or direct contamination by personnel who may nothave completely disinfected surfaces that store the unsterilized itemsthat are eventually placed in a patient's mouth. Infective agents may betransmitted via aerosol droplets to patients and staff. The aerosolbacterial/viral contamination is produced during the use of dentalscalers and dental equipment that produces an aerosol spray.Additionally, many patients pass through a dental operatory. Suchpatients may have been unknowingly exposed to, for example, HIV,Hepatitis, TB, flu viruses, bacterial, and fungal contamination that isin their saliva or blood. This is the reason for vigilant hand washingand use of universal precautions such as masks, eyewear, gloves, andgowns to protect practitioners as well as the next patient that istreated.

Sterile dental packs are an additional universal precaution to protectthe patient that is treated by providing an additional protectionbarrier and is the answer to the dilemma ofcross-infection/cross-contamination in the practice of dentistry.

By minimizing risk of or avoiding cross-contamination, patients wouldhave more confidence in the dental procedure and, therefore, be lessstressed. Moreover, even one cross-contamination incident may damage areputation of the dentist or oral care professional. Additionally, aninfection due to cross-contamination may lead to a malpractice lawsuit.Therefore, it is in the interests of both patients and dentists or oralcare professionals to minimize or eliminate cross-contamination.

Accordingly, there is a need for a convenient and sterilized set ofdental disposable supplies for use in dental procedures for the purposeof infection control.

It is also to be understood that the figuresincluded herewith only provide diagrammatic representations of thepresently preferred structures of the present disclosure and thatstructures falling within the scope of the present disclosure mayinclude structures different than those shown in the drawings.

Broadly, this disclosure is related to a wrapped sterile dental pack. Aplurality of dental disposable supplies may be arranged on a firstwrapping material with an adhesive sterile indicator for, for example,Ethylene Oxide gas attached on the right and left corners of the firstand second wraps, for example. The plurality of supplies may be arrangedparallel to each, which may increase the number of disposable dentalsupplies contained in a wrapped sterile dental pack. After thedisposable supplies are arranged on the first wrapping material, thefirst wrapping material may be held together by using an adhesivesterile indicator for, for example, Ethylene Oxide gas. A secondwrapping material may be wrapped around the first wrapping material andthe dental disposable supplies to enclose the first wrapping materialand the disposable items and a sterile indicator for, for example,Ethylene Oxide gas may be attached. The first wrapping material that iswrapped around the disposable supplies may be a central supply room(CSR) tube made from CSR paper created as a thick covering that easesthe rolling capacity of the sterile dental pack from the dispenser. Inaddition, the second wrapping material is CSR paper. The wrapped steriledental pack provides an extra layer of protection fromcross-contamination and cross-infection and is intended to serve as anaddition to the infection control guidelines and protocols in the fieldof dentistry. Moreover, the wrapped sterile dental pack has a size and ashape that allows it to be stored with less space than the spacerequired to individually store all the individual, separately packagedcomponents.

The wrapped sterile dental pack may be placed within a wrapped steriledental pack dispensing system. The dispensing system may include astorage, an output, and a fiber optic indicator. The wrapped steriledental pack may be placed within the storage. When a user, such as anoral care professional, wishes to retrieve a wrapped sterile dentalpack, the user may place a hand near the output. The fiber opticindicator may detect the hand and cause the dispensing system todispense a wrapped sterile dental pack from the storage to the output.
